Culinary Edible Patio Plant Coffee Tree

Grow fresh green coffee beans on your deck.

Coffee trees are easy to grow on your deck or patio and provide year round ornamental interest. The tree will reach up to 4' tall with fragrant shiny green leaves. Small white flowers will turn to "cherries," starting as green and then turning red. The coffee tree or shrub has newfound popularity – consuming green (or raw) coffee beans to lose weight. Remove the pulp and consume the raw bean (2-4 per day) to achieve the supposed weight loss effect. Or harvest enough beans to roast and make your own fresh coffee. The coffee tree likes filtered light and will prefer to be inside for the winter.
